So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.
Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Cor 15:58)

Today Reminder – 19 Augustus 2016

A reminder for
today

Trust in the LORD with
all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all
you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

We often find ourselves in a position where we stand before
a cross road. We have to make a decision and choose a path, but we are scared
to make the wrong choice. So today I want to encourage you to seek God’s will
and trust Him with all your heart. He will show you which path to take and He
will guide you on this new path so that you will reach your goal.

Do not depend on what you understand and what you desire,
but focus on God and seek His will. The moment we alter our thoughts and we
realign ourselves with God we will see much more clearer and we will make the
right choices.

Let the Lord guide you and lead you on your path and let Him
be your light in the darkness that we walk through each day.

Lord, in you we place all our trust. Show us your will and
lead us onto this path for your names sake. In Jesus name.

Book for the month

Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world. How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail? In This is Our Time, Trevin Wax provides snapshots of twenty-first-century American Life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits, entertainment intake, and our views of shopping, sex, marriage, politics, and life’s purpose), Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel. As faithful witnesses to Christ, Trevin writes, we must identify the longing behind society’s most cherished myths (what is good, true, beautiful), expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging), and show how the gospel tells a better story – one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.
